Well, isn't that cute? I never knew they looked like that. Seeing is believing, my dear. You must look to find, says the astronomy assistant. Don't you think someone else would like a look? This winter Professor Hecht, director of the Observatory, supervised the cleaning of the lenses which had not been touched during an interim of some twenty years. I In the summer and spring, the botany classes are conducted on a tour around the campus. The members receive lectures on the various peculiarities which distinguish one type of an oak from another, as well as being shown how to collect flower and plant specimens. 'The law school is characterized by rows of dusty volumes upon rows of dusty volumes. The lawyers spend as much of their time blow- ing the dust off of the books they desire to use, as they do studying in the numerous nooks and crannies sandwiched in between the book- cases. Practice court sessions are held twice a week at the Municipal Court rooms, or when these chambers are not available, the students practice their legal technicalities in the class- rooms of the school. Dean Roger Wolcott acts as judge during all legal proceedings. The jury is selected from the student body, the prosecu- tion and the defense are composed of similar personnel. The cases, thus tried, are replete with much wrangling and the introduction of devious methods of reasoning. Not to cite a precedent but rather to quote the result of a rationalization process is the favorite method of the student lawyers. However, the lawyers do 0220 L EMBRYO LAWYERS PRACTICE COUR'l'ING l STUDYING LIFE . . . is the daily practice of the Chappell student.

The gym is crowded with freshmen who timidly present their program cards to various professors. Will you please sign this, sir? queries a coed freshman. Oh, thank you, as she takes 'her card away. Another rushes to an upperclassman, Where can l find Professor McWilliams? 'Mac' is over at his office on the third floor of the library. 'lVIac ?

You'll remember that, Won't you? Of course, and thank you for being so nice, declares the freshman coed as she leaves. O Students who take astronomy classes at the Chamberlin Observatory become inured to the cold winter nights when they spend many hours looking through the telescope at the num- berless heavenly bodies. What's that funny little ball? lt looks like a fuzzy piece of cotton, inquires a bewildered Alpha Xi, standing on the platform mounted near the telescope. That's a comet, explains Professor Recht.

A GAME OF PEPPER . . . on the extensive Law School campus. CLARION TIME AT COMMERCE not spend all of their time in court or do they continually pore over case books. They are justly famous for their ball games held during the open periods between classes. As one oi the lawyers puts it, We find that it is most im- perative to develop a sound body as well as a brilliant legal mind. O The School of Commerce owes its fame to the Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity's political ma- chine which has succeeded during the past four years in controlling all elections. Little but vague rumor is heard during most of the college year: however, when elections are in progress and when the politicians begin their work, much is heard and said concerning Commerce politics. Commerce Comments, carrying the pen name of Larry Roberts, aroused much vituperation from Dean Bell, in her Campus office, to Delta Sigma Pi, in their Lighthouse. l-lud Henderson smoothly kept his identity concealed while Commerce students flinched under his biting sarcasm. Red Gray assumed Larry's responsibilities when Henderson was asked to become head of the Placement Bureau of the University. O Thus through the use of provocative print and picture we have presented campus life in its entirety. Dialogue has been used to create the thread of activity to be found binding this and other sections of the Kynewisbok to- gether. And those who review Its Campus several years hence will be better able to re- call the events composing the campusology of their college life. POST MORTEM AT LAW SCHOOL . . . between classes. 0230
